Celtic concert to be held in Bryson City

The Smoky Mountain Community Theatre in Bryson City will present its 4th annual Celtic Concert 7 p.m. on Friday, March 9. Tickets are $5 each.

Bean Sidhe (pronounced banshee) will be performing this year. Bean Sidhe plays traditional Celtic tunes and ballads using acoustic instruments covering a broad range of folk music from Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales.

The group was started out of a desire to study and explore the uplifting traditional music that came to America with our ancestors. Bean Sidhe has been playing together in some fashion for more than 10 years. Band members include David Russell, Amanda Burts, Karin Lyle and Ralph Murphy.
